Wow this is going to be fantastic! I’ll tell ya Vic, that most books online are garbage. But yours…they stand out. You are one of the few people that I actually purchase from. Looking very forward to this.

Guys, It’s obviously a future book and since Victor states ” Business is war” one would think it is a book about, oh I dunno business maybe? Jeez, come of you fellas can’t really put one and one together can you.

The title of the book is New World Ronin. A Ronin was a samurai without a master or someone to serve. So I think the book is exactly what it says. Men without masters, Ronin, us/Vic, hustling and making it on our on in modern times, New World. There could be possible insight into how Vic accomplished what he accomplished with lessons on how me might apply those strategies and tactics to our lives. Fuck it. I’ll buy it.

“A samurai with no lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless from the death or fall of his master, or after the loss of his master’s favor or privilege.” (from Wikipedia)

The modern day ronin is…

“A force of ambition and grit that has released himself from the monotonous grind of sucking the corporate teet in order to pursue self-mastery, control and freedom.”

The modern day ronin is the voice of a decisive and direct mindset that is following a congruent purpose.

Hey, don’t waste my time sending this promo, with no explanation of what is. Build up the hype and then leave you guessing is not a good marketing strategy, and kind of douchy for a guy who talks about being straight and direct.

I love this website. It is 1 of 3 I visit regularly. Even at my age (50), I learn a lot here.
Victor, I will purchase this book as soon as it is released.
I am reading Gorilla Mindset now; recommended here as well as the other 2 websites I visit regularly.
By the way, Mr. Pride, you remind me of myself in 1 way; supreme confidence, border line arrogance, spare no feelings and take no prisoners on the field of battle.
I am confident New World Ronin will be a great and pertinent book; 1 that will uplift the men who use it. I look forward to reading it.

You’re welcome, Victor.
The other 2 I visit are dangerandplay.com and returnofkings.com.
Each of you are unique. Between the 3 of you, plus my own experience, self-actualization is clearer. And I find boldanddetermined.com to be encouraging.

Even so, Quintus Curtius is terrific. And there is a good article or 2 sometimes. Just gotta get past the woman haters there.
That being said, pound-for-pound, B&D is better. Victor helps you develope a winning mindset. That’s the #1 thing a man needs. You can even use it to seduce women (notice the words pick-up are missing).

Great as always Vic. Book looks tasty.
I’ve been following B&D since its conception. I won’t say day 1, but very early, the first few articles at least. And I have to say, what you’ve done is remarkable.

A few questions:

First is business wise, are you interested in a BADWEAR retailer? I introduced a friend to your website, he fell in love with BADWEAR and he’s in the sportswear industry.

Second, I just feel like saying this:

There is an exponential inflation of all these B&D copies. Like, alright, BADNET is THE perfect way to start a blog, but for the most, all I see is a DIRECT copy of yours, if not direct, let’s say indirect.

I’m not complaining, accusing or bringing anything negative into thought. I’m just under the pressure of saying this.

Nothing will be like the original. Only a few websites in the field and themes you’re in have succeeded.
I’ll name what I generally hear is praised.

1. Bold and Determined – By far the first of its kind (at least the first one taken so professionally.)
2, Danger and Play – Original content. Mike is probably one of the very few who does what you do withtout copying you.
3. Good Looking Loser – Unique and treats slightly different topics using a slightly different approach. Chris is related to what you and Mike do, but is slightly deviant regarding topics and style.
4. The other things that are related and are healthy in their own right are John Doe Bodybuilding and Iron Tweed, for simple reasons, they are not doing what you do, they’re SPECIALIZING. You’re much more vast. Whereas they are very specific.

The other shit I see is either a direct copy, a rewording, a ripoff, a waste of time, etc.
I even see women doing what your blog does but for women. Oh the fucking irony.
You’re basically kicking feminism in the tits and what happens? We get an echo of feminist (or at least quasi-feminist) bloggers writing in your “no non-sense” style preaching what you preach for the female equivalent.

It’s all too funny to me.

I’d just like to read your opinion on this matter.

Third, have you heard of the MGTOW movement? If yes, I’d like to know your thoughts on the said movement. If no, it’s basically a broader concept of what you preach, MGTOW is Men Going Their Own Way. if you give a fuck, check it out, let us know what you think. If you don’t give a fuck, just keep not giving a fuck. I came across it by mistake when I was browsing a music video. No idea how I ended up there.

Anyways, keep kicking ass as you always do and thanks in advance for taking the time to answer these.

MGTOW is unnatural. Men need to have at least one woman in their life. Men and women go together. And guys who go MGTOW usually have no success with women and use it as an excuse to spend their time playing video games and shit.

Quick question, what plugin are you using for “featured topics” in the sidebar? I really like the ability to have it show the full name of the different articles.

I really like making the connection between business and war actually. It’s competitive like everything else in this life. People only help others because of the natural laws of karma and effect(in other words, they want your good favor via providing the least amount of help necessary). If you want something more you have to get a little rude hehe. Looking forward to New World Ronin.

I was in Walmart today buying a reload card. I use their prepay service for my Samsung S5.

They lady was really nice behind the counter, her name tag said 16 years of service below Kathy. I said wow Kathy, 16 years that’s a long time. She replied “only 4 more years and my car will be paid off. Then I’m going to do something else, l’m tired of Walmart.”

I tried to not show my disgust but I think it was obvious. All I was thinking was 4 fucking years?! To be a slave at a job you can’t stand so you can pay off your car. I’m glad there’s people out there who do that shit cause we need them, but goddamn.

A samurai off on his own, without the comfort that he used to have in serving a lord (family), shunned by society (being a man under feminism), who needs to start over from scratch at the lowest point (starting a business from nothing).
